2023 Rd 26 v Broncos: Game Day

Stitch up central. Ricky has every right to whinge. Every right. The reverse penalty. Pre field goal juggle into wighton is knock on. Terrible reffing. I’m saying that Frawley is not FG. Just isn’t. Yeah the ref really lost it for us. Not. Some of these Stuart fools must watch another game. Broncos...

Oh would you look at that, it’s exactly the team I thought it would be when I saw this squad named And just quietly, Kris is nowhere near as bad a fullback as some on here like to make him out to be… our player of the year points show that He a very safe but dull option at fullback, which is the fo...

Re: 2023 Rd 26 v Broncos: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*

It's pretty obvious to me that if Wighton and Kris are both fit they'll be rushed back in, and looking at the players in the named squad, it'll be Wighton to five-eighth and Kris to fullback with Rapana returning to the wing and Hopoate fired into the sun. I just can't see it being any other combin...
